With an estimated $2 billion spent yearly on virtual gaming in the country due to its growing popularity, millions of Nigerians seeking to explore the gaming world to diversify their income streams are set to enjoy even more alternatives, thanks to MegaMillions.

According to International Gaming and Entertainment Limited, owners of Mega Millions Naija, Nigerians can now play global games from their phones and stand a chance to win millions of dollars in cash.

Making this known yesterday during a courtesy visit to The Guardian corporate headquarters, Rutam House, Lagos, the games’ promoters said they have brought international gaming to the country not just to bridge passion and entertainment, but also ensure Nigerians make money, while having fun with the games.

Chief Operations Officer, MegaMillions Naija, Victor Nwobia, said their platform would provide access to the most popular games from around the world, ushering in an incredible opportunity for millions of Nigerians.

“There is a major difference between lottery and sports betting. With MegaMillions, players will be able to participate in several global games, including the popular U.S Powerball, Australia Powerball, U.S. MegaMillions, SuperEnalotto, Euromillions, EuroJackpot, Spanish La Primitiva and so on. Jackpot isn’t won at every draw so the money grows. The last jackpot won was in July and was worth over $1.3 billion.

“Now, the jackpot stands at about N140 billion and we want to give Nigerians the chance to win this huge payday.
